Snippet:
UNKNOWN CONTAGION: STAY IN YOUR HOMES.
What? Her stomach rolled, this time in fear. Isabelle bolted for her mother’s room.
“Mom. Mom, get up!”
She bounced onto Rosa’s mattress and shook her awake.
Her mother groaned and rolled over with a yawn, still in her work scrubs. “What is it, Isa? I was sleeping. You know Momma needs to rest after work.”
“Emergency Broadcast thing, Mom. Some contagion. Do you think I have it?”
Rosa sat straight up. “What? Don’t be silly. Let me see.”
They both scrambled off the bed and hurried to the living room. Isa grabbed the remote and turned up the volume. Meep, meep, meep blared in a shrill tone followed by a message.
This is not a test.
There has been a national emergency declared. A contagion causing mass casualties is being reported in Fayette and Allegheny County and worldwide. FEMA has been activated but response times are slow. Recommendations are for citizens to stay in their homes and await further instructions.
Again, this is not a test.
The message repeated twice then the screen reverted back to the local news.
Huh.
“We live in Allegheny county, right, Mom? Are we at risk?”
Her mother grabbed her arm and tugged her back toward her room.
“Get your stuff, Isa. We have to go.” Rosa’s voice quavered but her hands remained firm as she guided Isa to the back of the house.
“Go where? The alert said to stay in our houses.” Her mother’s urgency caused her throat to tighten. What was going on?
“We need to get out of the city. I don’t like this.” Rosa cast worried glances from side to side, as if the disease would jump out and get them.
“Where will we go?”
